Tom Hayden. New Left activist and codefendant in the Chicago Seven conspiracy trial, will kick off a conference of four lectures on radical politics today at noon in Bovard Auditorium.
Hayden will discuss, from a historical perspective, the importance of the Indochina war as a continuing social and political issue. A past president and cofounder of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and author of the society’s Port Huron Statement. Hayden is a likely choice to begin the conference.
The idea behind the conference, “A Radical Paradigm for the Seventies.” is to bring together New Left and liberal thinkers who were active in the 1960s. The activists will take a critical look at the past decade and predict the movement’s social implications for the 70s. with emphasis on their particular frame of reference.
In addition to Hayden. Carl Ogelsby, past president and a major theoretician for SDS. will speak Wednesday; Howard Zinn. an early civil rights organizer who currently teaches at Boston University, will speak Friday; and Marcus Raskin, codirector of the Institute of Policy Studies in Washington, D.C., will speak next Tuesday.
Hayden's involvement with the New Left stretches over a decade. In 1962 he led the split of SDS from its parent organization, the League for Industrial Democracy. The Port Huron Statement, which he authored, established community organization as the basis for the action programs of SDS. Hayden later became SDS president.
Acting on the SDS commitment to community organization, Hayden conceived the model project in Newark, N.J., which was to become the basis for his book on ghetto violence, “Rebellion in Newark,” in which he discussed the origins of the Newark riots and the nature of government response and reaction.
Throughout the 1960s, Hayden seemed to appear wherever the dissent movement caught on. He was a participant in the Berkeley radicalization and a leader of the Columbia student strike in 1968. His popular treatise on the latter, “Make One, Two, Three Many Columbias,” was later published in Ramparts magazine.
As a result of his organizational role in the antiwar demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic National Convention, Hayden became a codefendant in the Chicago Seven conspiracy trial. He is now awaiting appeal on contempt citations that were the result of his attempts to politicize the courtroom, along with his codefendants.
As a result of the conspiracy trial and because of his perspective on a decade of radical activity. Hayden wrote “The Trial,” in which he explained the dynamics of the movement, from protest to resistance.
A long-time advocate of the Black Panther Party, Hayden was the campaign chairman for Eldridge Cleaver in 1968 when Cleaver ran for the presidency on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket.
In the spring of 1970. Hayden was in New Haven, Conn., organizing protests against the trial of Black Panthers Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins. In New Haven, Hayden drafted the national demands for the student strike over the United States invasion of Cambodia.
Hayden is now at work on a new book concerned with the revitalization of Vietnam as a political issue in America. He has convened a group of specialists on Southeast Asia to serve as a clearinghouse for ideas and to organize formal presentations during this summer’s demonstrations against the Republican National Convention in San Diego.
Hayden, who did his undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Michigan, is now teaching at Immaculate Heart College and the Claremont Colleges. His courses deal with the emergence of China and the history of the war in Southeast Asia.
The conference, sponsored by the ASSC, is an annual event. Sam Hurst, conference chairman, explained why these four speakers were chosen this year.
“All of them are articulate, extensively published intellectuals who have either done extensive research or taught in the areas of civil rights, American foreign policy or domestic dissent, and they have tempered all the theory with action—they have committed themselves to act out their political beliefs,” Hurst said.
"It’s important that they come to USC, for scholars at USC suffer from a not-too-uncommon paralysis that inhibits their politics.
“I think it is terribly appropriate that both Hayden and Ogelsby, the youngest and clearly most revolutionary of the four, are now at colleges, which is not to say that they are retreating from activism, but rather indicates their desire to teach radical politics.”

THE LONG WAIT — Students pass the time playing at 6 p.m. Sunday night because students wanted rooms cards outside the Information Center while waiting to in new dorm and apartment complexes. DT Photo by turn in their fall housing applications. The line-up began Will Hertzberg.
Housing: a night’s vigil
By DAVE DANIELSON
Assistant Editorial Director
About 35 students stormed the Information Center in an all-night siege Sunday night and Monday morning, but their action wasn’t a violent campus protest and their only weapons were card games, sleeping bags, pillows and a lot of coffee.
Their sit-down—which turned into a sleep-down during the night—wasn’t to make any point: the students only wanted to make sure they got the pick of university housing for the fall semester.
Last year, on the day that the Housing Office first started to accept applications for this school year’s housing, many students turned out in the early morning hours for a good place in the line outside the office.
They wanted their choice of where to live on campus, and the earlier they turned in their applications, the higher their priority. Their early line-up may have started a new university tradition.
But this year’s sit-down added many long, long hours to the waiting—those first in line
Norris, trustees chairman, dies
started waiting at 6 p.m. Sunday and finally were admitted to the center, which contains the Housing Office, at 8:30, Monday morning.
Most of the undergraduates who sat out the entire night in their sleeping bags did so because they wanted apartment space in the new 14-story structure near the Dental Building, scheduled to be completed by the start of the fall semester. They knew that the four top floors of the building will be set aside for faculty and staff and that graduates would be competing with them for what was left.
A few students were also waiting to get space in the new 11-story men’s suite-plan dorm, located next to the apartment structure. The dorm will make up for the living space lost to campus residents by the phasing-out of Town and Gown, Stonier and Touton halls.
Housing officials don’t know yet how many undergraduates will make it into the apartments, but Phyllis Fetter, who ran the application procedure today, said it was probably “a necessary thing to be early like so many were if they wanted an apartment. They seem to be very popular.”
James King was the first to
hand in an application—one requesting an apartment, naturally—and he had waited since early Sunday evening for the privilege. Much of the time during his vigil, he sat against the glass door which would open up in the morning to let him in, preserving his number one spot.
“I want a single suite in the apartment complex, and there’s only one per floor, so 1 figure I had better get in early,” King said. “With my luck, it’ll probably turn out that nobody wants the singles, and I’ll have waited up all night for nothing.”
The Housing Office processed almost 500 applications Monday, and it wasn't until 1:30 p.m. that the line leading into the Information Center disappeared. Processing took some time. Fetter said, because a new procedure was being used in applications.
Priority numbers for applications that came in the mail were given only after all those that were personally turned in Monday were numbered.
And, not too surprisingly, the apartments did indeed prove popular. As a result, the night-watch by King and some three dozen others probably paid off, while many will be disappointed.
Kenneth T. Norris, chairman of the Board of Trustees, died March 24 at the Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena after a short illness. He was 72.
Mr. Norris was also chairman of the board of Norris Industries, a company that manufactures building, industrial
KENNETH T. NORRIS
and military products, which he founded in 1930, and was one of the leading philanthropists in Southern California.
He began his association with USC in 1958 when he became chairman of the board of councilors of the USC School of Medicine. He headed a multimillion dollar fund-raising campaign for the medical campus.
This led in 1968 to the dedication ofthe $1,720,000 Eileen and Kenneth T. Norris Medical Library building.
The following year the new Eileen and Kenneth T. Norris Dental Science Center was dedicated, which brought together all of the facilities of the School of Dentistry.
It was also in 1969that Mr. Norris received an honorary degree of doctor of engineering at USC's 86th annual commencement exercises. In the citation accompanying his honorary degree, he was called “a great leader of industry” and “the embodiment
of the American dreamed fulfilled; the boy who clerked in his father’s general store becoming board chairman of one of America’s great corporations.”
His dedication to education arose out of his own background; he never went past high school. Born in East St. Louis, 111., Mr. Norris was educated at Manual Arts High School of Los Angeles.
From there he went on to his father’s general store and eventually in 1930, Mr. Norris established the Norris Stamping and Manufacturing Co. Soon after he served on the eight-man Business Advisory Committee under President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Last year Norris was elected chairman of the Board of Trustees, succeeding Justin Dart.
Mr. Norris also was an honorary life trustee at Occidental College, where he served on the board since 1951 and was its chairman in 1968-69.

Gay Lib sues for recognition
The Gay Liberation Forum brought suit in Superior Court last Tuesday to compel USC to recognize it as a campus group. The suit said the Forum should have the privilege of any other students in forming organizations on campus.
A spokeswoman for the university’s legal affairs department said she had not received any legal documents on the suit and did not have any knowledge of it.
